I think (didn't look into it at any depth) that pidgin draws in net-
libs/libnice (because of XMPP?) and libnice has the upnp flag which draws in
net-libs/gupnp-igd. I unmerged gupnp and this is what I get:
# emerge -uaDtv world
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Interestingly, I do *not* have farsight installed, but I had installed connman
to try it with enlightenment (econnman).
